Meet Dr. Alice Zito: Clinical Neuropsychologist
"I believe that understanding the intricate relationship between the brain and human behavior is the first step toward meaningful recovery. My practice combines rigorous scientific training with a deeply empathetic, person-centered approach, ensuring that every patient—and their family—feels heard, validated, and clinically supported."
Navigating Complex Diagnoses Together
Whether you are a worried family member seeking expert guidance for a parent showing signs of memory loss, or an adult looking for clarity through an ADHD or Autism spectrum assessment, you do not have to navigate this journey alone.
I help individuals and families translate complex neurological data into practical, actionable strategies for daily life. My practice focuses on providing clear answers, clear diagnostic pathways, and modern, personalized rehabilitation protocols.

Ready to Take the Next Step?
Whether you need a comprehensive cognitive evaluation, post-stroke rehabilitation, or ADHD testing, help is available.
My Clinical Approach: Neuroscience Meets Innovation
I believe in combining warm, human-centered care with state-of-the-art neurorehabilitation technology. Rather than relying solely on traditional methods, my Milan clinic integrates advanced, non-invasive therapeutic tools to support cognitive health and emotional well-being:
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS): Non-invasive neuromodulation designed to stimulate neural plasticity, aiding cognitive recovery and managing chronic pain.
Virtual Reality (VR) Cognitive Therapy: Immersive and semi-immersive functional environments for realistic, high-engagement cognitive training.
Multimodal Rehabilitation: Tailored cognitive, speech, and executive function training for both acute recovery and long-term condition management.
Core Areas of Expertise
Dementia & Cognitive Decline: Early screening, differential diagnosis, and ongoing support for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Vascular Dementia, and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI).
Adult Neurodevelopmental Care: Comprehensive diagnostic evaluation and tailored executive function coaching for Adult ADHD and Autism Spectrum conditions.
Neurorehabilitation: Targeted cognitive and functional recovery following stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), or neurological illness.
Psychological Support & Chronic Conditions: Rebalancing quality of life and managing emotional distress for individuals coping with chronic pain, neurological diagnoses, or caregiver fatigue.
